Book excerpt: Whether you have a statutory responsibility for urban river corridors, or you are a local resident with concerns about how watercourses are managed in your town or city, this book can help. There are significant challenges when balancing infrastructure, property development and flood risk with the essential ecosystem goods and services provided by urban watercourses. The behaviour and functions of rivers are highly counter-intuitive and span multiple specialist disciplines. Adjusting one element within a river corridor can have far reaching, unintended impacts on a range of other functions. As a result, it is important to use the best current knowledge and information to make management decisions. Because healthy urban watercourses have the potential to provide massive societal and financial benefits, it is imperative to manage them to the best possible standards. Passive cooling protection from urban heat island effects, better public health due to air quality improvements, rainfall and floodwater management capacity, refugia for pollinating insects helping to promote food security and wellbeing benefits of urban green spaces are just a few of the essential services generated by urban river corridors. Use this book from the Wild Trout Trust as a tool to help guide more effective decisions affecting urban river corridor management. It can form a reference for negotiations between different stakeholders - or equally can be used to inform proactive creation of sustainable policies. Combining specialist expertise across multiple disciplines will help create a better future for our urban spaces.

Book excerpt: The history of urban development is associated with the degradation of rivers - the deterioration of water quality, increased flooding, and the loss of ecological resources. The story of urban streams and rivers is as much a social history as it is a technological one. The control of nature and exploitation of natural resources was at the heart of the industrialisation process and of advances in the co-ordination and effective administration of water-and land-management schemes. Today, new approaches to the management of urban water are a response to advances in scientific knowledge and technology, and of a new concern for quality of life. Environmental improvement and ecological restoration demonstrate confidence in an area, which can enhance economic competitiveness. Along with improvements in air quality, building stock and transport networks, the restoration of stream and river corridors can make a major contribution to the success of urban regeneration schemes. Urban Rivers provides an illustrated overview of the effects of urbanisation on the aquatic environment, potential solutions to the resulting problems, and new opportunities for the regeneration of urban streams and rivers, and of land along their corridors and of adjacent urban areas. The book is written to be accessible to a broad audience and should provide a stimulating and informative introduction to the subject for all those concerned with the urban river environment.

Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2006 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Demographics, Urban Management, Planning, grade: none, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Institute of Geography), language: English, abstract: In many urban regions, awareness of the specific challenges facing water-connected areas is increasing, and for the last forty years waterfront revitalization has been a hot topic worldwide. This has also been the case in the seven-million citizen region of Chicago. The factories and industries that once lined the Chicago River are now mostly gone (having closed or moved to greenfield sites). Nowadays a new mode of thinking is needed to decide how riverfront areas should best be redesigned and redeveloped. Even in the last few years, awareness of the importance of enhancing the conditions along the Chicago River corridor and developing new valuable urban areas for residential and recreational utilization has grown. In 2005, Chicago’s mayor labeled the river as “Chicago’s second shoreline” and claimed that the river’s banks are no longer “forgotten areas”. Against this political background the following paper investigates the research question: How does the City of Chicago approach comprehensive planning for the Chicago River Corridor? To answer this question an analysis of the planning process and a plan assessment is done. The paper proceeds as follows. In the next section is an overview given of the history of the development and utilization of the Chicago River corridor. Sections 3 and 4 discussed the comprehensive plan making process as a basic planning tool and the specific content and features of the Development Plan, respectively. Section 5 presents a critical assessment of the river and riverfront planning approach of the City of Chicago. The paper concludes with suggestions of how planners can improve comprehensive waterfront plans and comprehensive plans in general as well as approach best plan making processes associated with urban riverfront development.
